- 2022 Highlights
Personal Statement
My name is Chris Rogers and will graduate in 2024. I have been playing soccer with the Columbus Crew Academy for the past 7 years. I just finished the season with Crew 2 where we made it to the MLS Next Pro championship game. I started and played the whole 90 minutes in all the playoff games. I was the captain of the U17 team last year. My primary positions are Left Center Back and Left Outside back. Although I am a defensive player, I feel that I am a threat offensively as well. I play Left Back as an attacking position, I consistently get crosses to my teammates, go into tackles strong, and make runs down the field.
I have been invited to numerous US National Team ID centers and was invited to the US National Team camp in Bradenton, FL in March 2020 before it was cancelled due to Covid.
Although soccer has been my main sport for the past 11 years, I am a well-rounded athlete. I have been swimming since I was 5 and I hold several swim records at my summer and winter clubs. I also played lacrosse for 5 years, before it became too difficult to juggle both lacrosse and soccer. In past seasons, I routinely had the most goals and ground balls on my team.
My goal is to play soccer at a school that is challenging both academically and athletically. I believe I will be an asset to any program and can contribute to the team’s success immediately.
